The Opportunity Warehouse: How Prison Ethnography Can Help Undo Mass Incarceration

Presented by Jed Tucker, assistant director for reentry programs and curriculum at the Bard Prison Initiative. Based on ethnographic research with over 250 incarcerated men and women enrolled in a liberal arts college program across 5 NY State prisons, Tucker examines how enrollment in the college effects new social group formation, identification and the development of alternative self-narrative. The event is part of the Public Anthropology Lecture Series.
